Il Capitano Brad Simonds possiede e gestisce Southpaw Fishing Charters. Vi porterà in emozionanti uscite di pesca a bordo di una Torres Sportfisher di 43' costruita su misura, realizzata nel 2002 da Claude Torres, un rinomato costruttore di imbarcazioni. La barca è alimentata da un motore diesel Lugger da 700 HP ed è dotata di un pacchetto completo di elettronica nautica e di navigazione. Questi includono un GPS/Chart plotter, diversi ecoscandagli e sonar, varie radio VHF e un radar Northstar e Simrad.

Il sistema di vivaio a due livelli dell'imbarcazione consente all'equipaggio di mantenere grandi quantità di esca viva durante tutta l'uscita. All'interno della cabina, c'è una comoda area salotto attorno a una dinette e un'ampia panca imbottita.

Una delle caratteristiche più importanti di Southpaw è la sua torre per tonni, che l'equipaggio utilizza per una varietà di tecniche di pesca durante tutto l'anno, e che ritengono dia loro un vantaggio rispetto a molti dei loro concorrenti che non hanno una torre a bordo.

Nato e cresciuto in Massachusetts, il Capitano Brad ha iniziato a lavorare come capitano oltre 30 anni fa, comandando un Holton di 55' da Key Largo, e trascorrendo i mesi primaverili nella penisola dello Yucatan. Dopo essere stato al timone di diversi charter privati e di proprietà aziendale, Brad ha deciso di mettersi in proprio e ha fondato Southpaw Fishing Charters nel 2002.

L'equipaggio di Southpaw è specializzato nella pesca con esca viva light tackle, traina, pesca con l'aquilone, pesca a fondo e pesca sui relitti per una varietà di pelagici e pesci sportivi residenti che abitano la zona. Questi includono Billfish, tonno, lampuga (Mahi Mahi), cavalla, red snapper, cernia e molti altri.

Uscite di pesca personalizzate possono anche essere organizzate su richiesta, come la pesca a mosca in acque blu, pesca con esca viva con l'aquilone, pesca sportiva da torneo, uscite notturne per red snapper o pesce spada, così come escursioni di pesca alle Tortugas e altre uscite a lungo raggio.

3/4 Day Trip on March 31, 20262 adults4 children
Everything from the Captain, first mate, the boat, the fishing equipment, and all things in-between was fantastic. James, the first mate, was informative and very kind to a number of our first timers. The Captain knew exactly where to go to catch our bait fish and sailfish. About ten minutes in fishing we hooked a sailfish. After about 30ish minutes we landed it. Captain Brad called the day before to confirm everything, provide info about the conditions, and made sure we knew how to find his boat at the marina. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend.

Unforgettable Experience
3/4 Day Trip on November 13, 20252 adults
Captain Brad and James were organized, tactical and hardworking - made for a successful and unforgettable trip. Choppy water but they made us feel very safe. Put us on 3 sailfish and caught plenty of eaters too. Could have brought us back to shore but fished to the last minute hunting down the 3rd sailfish. Sushi at the docks (incredible), filleted our fish, offered pictures, gave restaurant recommendations, gave us the leader of the first sailfish we ever caught - lots of attention to detail that made it excellent. James is incredibly hardworking and patient with all our questions…. Will be coming back!

Capt. Brad runs a top notch charter. His ship was extremely clean. He goes to great lengths to help you catch what you are looking for. In our case it was sailfish. We had a very successful trip. Also cannot say enough about first mate James. He was on top of line placment and didnt mind answering our children’s questions. I would highly recommend taking your children on Southpaw. We look forward to doing this again!

Half Day Trip on June 17, 20252 adults
The captain and first mate were super friendly and very good at their jobs. The seas were a bit rocky for my liking so we came back a tad earlier than scheduled, but Captain Brad and James were very gracious about it. They put us right on the mahi and we reeled in about 8…5 of which were big enough to keep. The captain offered to clean them for us which we took him up on that. Watching him throw the fish carcasses into the water and see all the tarpon in a frenzy to eat them was entertaining in and of itself. Great experience all around!!!

Half Day Trip on June 6, 20252 adults
Captain Brad & First Mate James did their very best to take us out for Mahi on a 1/2 day AM trip (bit of a tall order on limited time). Though it was a slow day, we did catch 6 Mahi, and 1 was pretty sizable! The boat was immaculately clean and comfortable. Captain Brad cleaned the fish we kept and recommended a local restaurant for lunch. He was also very patient and responsive to my emails/questions prior to booking. We would have loved a bit more conversation from James teaching us about the whys and hows of everything he was doing, but overall a great first-time experience--100% would book again.
